About Us
The Vauxhall Astra MK3 Owners Club ("MK3OC") was originally conceived in June 2005, out of demand for a specialist Astra MK3 club. Stemming from the much respected generic Vauxhall club, "MIG Performance Vauxhalls," three members teamed up in order to turn the dream into a reality.
Rob, Lou and Paul started it up initially as just an online forum.
Reece later joined the team, but due to personal workloads he chose to leave. As their replacement, Matt was recruited.
Using his web design skills, the forum was turned into a more comprehensive site.
Meanwhile, Rob expanded the Mk3OC from just an online message board into a complete club. Lou continued to maintain the technical side of things, along with the occasional help of Paul.
After this Alex came on board as our group-buy & discounts organiser, and Ben as a handy source for keeping the post-count on the upwards curve, as well as both contributing considerably in all fields.
Unfortunately Rob left due to a serious lack of judgement and bringing the clubs reputation into jepordy. Alex took over at the helm and guided the club through VBOA affiliation which is an excellent achievement. Paul left due to increasing personal workloads but is still around the club as a ueful source of information. We have appointed new members of staff as we have grown. We have Matt dealing with our paid memberships, Pete is the new group-buy & discounts organiser, we have Kev as the club deisgner/photographer, John is doing an excellent job keeping the forums in order and Max as the joint events and regions administrator.
We have come along way since we were founded in 2005. With over 4,000 registered users on the forum and over 250 club members. We have a good representation of all MK3 Astra's within the club and always welcome new members. The club site is also now hosted on the club's very own server, which means that the site is fast and reliable for our members. We are always growing and expanding year on year and hope that we continue to do so over the coming years.
